Êxodo 32

1 When the people saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron, and said to him, "Come, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we don’t know what has become of him."

2 Aaron said to them, "Take off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them to me."

3 All the people took off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron. 4 He received what they handed him, fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made it a molded calf. Then they said, "These are your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt."

5 When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made a proclamation, and said, "Tomorrow shall be a feast to Yahweh."

6 They rose up early on the next day, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.

7 Yahweh spoke to Moses, "Go, get down; for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves! 8 They have turned away quickly out of the way which I commanded them. They have made themselves a molded calf, and have worshiped it, and have sacrificed to it, and said, ‘These are your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.’"

9 Yahweh said to Moses, "I have seen these people, and behold, they are a stiff-necked people. 10 Now therefore leave me alone, that my wrath may burn hot against them, and that I may consume them; and I will make of you a great nation."

11 Moses begged Yahweh his God, and said, "Yahweh, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, that you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand? 12 Why should the Egyptians talk, saying, ‘He brought them out for evil, to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the surface of the earth’? Turn from your fierce wrath, and turn away from this evil against your people. 13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said to them, ‘I will multiply your offspring*32:13 or, seed as the stars of the sky, and all this land that I have spoken of I will give to your offspring, and they shall inherit it forever.’"

14 So Yahweh turned away from the evil which he said he would do to his people.

15 Moses turned, and went down from the mountain, with the two tablets of the covenant in his hand; tablets that were written on both their sides. They were written on one side and on the other. 16 The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.

17 When Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, "There is the noise of war in the camp."

18 He said, "It isn’t the voice of those who shout for victory. It is not the voice of those who cry for being overcome; but the noise of those who sing that I hear." 19 As soon as he came near to the camp, he saw the calf and the dancing. Then Moses’ anger grew hot, and he threw the tablets out of his hands, and broke them beneath the mountain. 20 He took the calf which they had made, and burned it with fire, ground it to powder, and scattered it on the water, and made the children of Israel drink it.

21 Moses said to Aaron, "What did these people do to you, that you have brought a great sin on them?"

22 Aaron said, "Don’t let the anger of my lord grow hot. You know the people, that they are set on evil. 23 For they said to me, ‘Make us gods, which shall go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we don’t know what has become of him.’ 24 I said to them, ‘Whoever has any gold, let them take it off.’ So they gave it to me; and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf."

25 When Moses saw that the people were out of control, (for Aaron had let them lose control, causing derision among their enemies), 26 then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, "Whoever is on Yahweh’s side, come to me!"

All the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him. 27 He said to them, "Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘Every man put his sword on his thigh, and go back and forth from gate to gate throughout the camp, and every man kill his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.’" 28 The sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses. About three thousand men fell of the people that day. 29 Moses said, "Consecrate yourselves today to Yahweh, for every man was against his son and against his brother, that he may give you a blessing today."

30 On the next day, Moses said to the people, "You have sinned a great sin. Now I will go up to Yahweh. Perhaps I shall make atonement for your sin."

31 Moses returned to Yahweh, and said, "Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made themselves gods of gold. 32 Yet now, if you will, forgive their sin—and if not, please blot me out of your book which you have written."

33 Yahweh said to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against me, I will blot him out of my book. 34 Now go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. Behold, my angel shall go before you. Nevertheless, in the day when I punish, I will punish them for their sin." 35 Yahweh struck the people, because of what they did with the calf, which Aaron made.

Te Kūao Kau Kōura

1 Ā, nō te kitenga o te iwi i roa te hekenga iho o Mohi i runga i te maunga, ka huihui te iwi ki a Ārona, ka mea ki a ia, "Whakatika, hangā ētahi atua mō tātou, hei haere i mua i a tātou; ko tēnei Mohi hoki, ko te tangata nāna tātou i kawe mai ki runga nei i te whenua o Īhipa, kāhore tātou e mōhio kua ahatia rānei ia."

2 Nā, ka mea a Ārona ki a rātou, "Whakia mai ngā whakakai kōura i ngā taringa o ā koutou wāhine, o ā koutou tama, o ā koutou tamāhine, ka kawe mai ki ahau."

3 Nā, whakia ana e te iwi katoa ngā whakakai kōura i ō rātou taringa, ā, kawea ana mai ki a Ārona. 4 Nā, ka tangohia e ia i ō rātou ringa, ā, whakaahuatia ana e ia ki te purupuru tāna kūao kau i whakarewa ai. Nā, ka mea rātou, "Ko ōu atua ēnei, e Īharaira, nāna nei koe i kawe mai ki runga nei i te whenua o Īhipa!"

5 Ā, nō te kitenga o Ārona, hangā ana e ia tētahi āta ki mua i taua mea; ā, ka karanga a Ārona, ka mea, "Ko āpōpō, he hākari ki a Ihowā." 6 Nā, ka maranga wawe rātou i te aonga ake, ā, whakaekea ana he tahunga tinana, i kawea anō he whakahere mō te pai; nā, ka noho te iwi ki te kai, ki te inu, ā, ka whakatika ki te tākaro.

7 Nā, ka mea a Ihowā ki a Mohi, "Haere, heke atu, kua hē hoki tōu iwi i kawea mai nei e koe i te whenua o Īhipa. 8 Kua hohoro rātou te peka kē i te huarahi i kīia e ahau ki a rātou; kua hangā mā rātou he kūao kau, he mea whakarewa, kua koropiko ki taua mea, kua patu whakahere māna, ā, e mea ana, ‘Ko ōu atua ēnei, e Īharaira, i kawea mai ai koe i te whenua o Īhipa.’ "

9 I mea anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi, "Kua kite ahau i tēnei iwi, nā, he iwi kakī mārō rātou. 10 Nā, tukua atu ahau, ā, ka mura tōku riri ki a rātou, ā, ka pau rātou i ahau; ka hangā anō koe hei iwi nui."

11 Nā, ka īnoi a Mohi ki a Ihowā, ki tōna Atua, ka mea, "He aha tōu riri i mura ai, e Ihowā, ki tāu iwi i kawea mai nei e koe i te whenua o Īhipa i runga i te kaha nui, i te ringa mārō? 12 Ha, kia kōrero ngā Īhipiana, kia mea, ‘He whakaputanga atu ki te hē tāna i a rātou, kia whakamatea ai rātou ki ngā maunga, kia whakangaromia atu ai i te mata o te whenua’? Tahuri i tōu riri nui e mura nei, kia puta kē hoki tōu whakaaro ki tēnei kino mō tāu iwi. 13 Kia mahara ki āu pononga, ki a Āperahama, ki a Īhaka, ki a Īharaira, ki tāu oatitanga hoki i a koe ki a rātou, ki tāu meatanga ki a rātou, ‘Ka whakanuia e ahau ō koutou uri kia rite ki ngā whetū o te rangi; ko tēnei whenua katoa hoki i kōrerotia atu nei e ahau, ka hoatu e ahau ki ō koutou uri, ā, ka nohoia e rātou ake ake.’ " 14 Nā, ka puta kē tā Ihowā i whakaaro ai mō te kino i kīia e ia kia meatia ki tāna iwi.

15 Nā, ka tahuri a Mohi, ka heke iho i te maunga, me ngā papa e rua o te whakaaturanga i tōna ringa; he mea tuhi ngā taha e rua o ngā papa; i tētahi taha, i tētahi taha te tuhi. 16 He mea mahi hoki nā te Atua aua papa, me te tuhituhi hoki, nā te Atua te tuhituhi, he mea whaowhao ki ngā papa.

17 Ā, ka rongo a Hohua i te reo o te iwi e hāmama ana, ka mea ki a Mohi, "He ngē whawhai kei te puni rā."

18 Nā, ka mea ia:

"Ehara tērā reo i te hāmama mō te hinganga o te taua,

ehara hoki tērā reo i te hāmama o te hunga e hinga ana;

he reo waiata tāku e rongo nei."

19 Ā, ka tata ia ki te puni, nā, ka kite ia i te kūao kau, i te kanikani. Nā, ka mura te riri o Mohi, ā, ka makā atu e ia ngā papa i roto i ōna ringa, ā, pākarua ana aua mea e ia i raro i te maunga. 20 Nā, ka tango ia i te kūao kau i hangā e rātou, ā, tahuna ana e ia ki te ahi, ā, hurihia ana, ā, ngotangota noa, ā, ruiruia ana e ia ki te wai, whakainumia atu ana mā ngā tama a Īharaira.

21 Nā, ka mea a Mohi ki a Ārona, "I aha tēnei iwi ki a koe, i tākina ai e koe tēnei hara nui ki a rātou?"

22 Ā, ka mea a Ārona, "Kei mura mai te riri o tōku ariki; e mōhio ana koe ki tēnei iwi, mō te kino tonu rātou. 23 I mea hoki rātou ki ahau, ‘Hangā ētahi atua mō tātou hei haere i mua i a tātou; ko tēnei Mohi hoki, ko te tangata nāna nei tātou i kawe mai i te whenua o Īhipa, kāhore tātou e mōhio kua ahatia rānei ia.’ 24 Nā, ka mea ahau ki a rātou, ‘Ki te mea he kōura tō tētahi, whakia mai.’ Nā, ka hōmai e rātou ki ahau; ā, makā ana e ahau ki te ahi; ā, puta ake ko te kūao kau nei."

25 Ā, i te kitenga o Mohi i te iwi e korara noa ana, (nā Ārona hoki rātou i tuku kia korara, hei taunu mā ō rātou hoariri). 26 Nā, ka tū a Mohi ki te kūwaha o te puni, ka mea, "Ko wai tō Ihowā haere mai ki ahau?" Nā, ka huihui ngā tama katoa a Rīwai ki a ia.

27 Nā, ka mea ia ki a rātou, "Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā, a te Atua o Īharaira, ‘Whakanohoia e tērā, e tērā tāna hoari ki tōna hūhā, ā, haere atu, hoki mai, i tētahi kūwaha ki tētahi kūwaha, i waenga puni, ā, patua e tērā tōna teina, e tērā tōna hoa, e tērā tōna hoa e noho tata ana.’ " 28 Nā, rite tonu ki te kupu a Mohi tā ngā tama a Rīwai i mea ai; ā, tata tonu ki te toru mano ngā tāngata i hinga i taua rangi. 29 Nā Mohi hoki i mea, "Hei runga i tāna tama, i tōna teina, te whakatohungatanga ki a Ihowā o tērā, o tērā, o koutou āianei; kia hōmai ai e ia he manaaki ki a koutou āianei."

30 Nā, i te aonga ake, ka mea a Mohi ki te iwi, "Kua hara koutou, he nui te hara. Nā, me haere ahau āianei ki runga, ki a Ihowā; tērā pea e taea e ahau te whakamārie mō tō koutou hara."

31 Nā, ka hoki a Mohi ki a Ihowā, ka mea, "Auē! Kua hara tēnei iwi, he nui te hara, kua hangā hoki e rātou ētahi atua kōura mō rātou. 32 Nā, māu e horoi tō rātou hara; ā, ki te kāhore, tēnā rā, horoia atu ahau i roto i tāu pukapuka i tuhituhia e koe."

33 Nā, ka mea a Ihowā ki a Mohi, "Ko te tangata e hara ana ki ahau, ka horoia atu ia e ahau i roto i tāku pukapuka. 34 Nā, haere rā, ārahina atu te iwi ki te wāhi i kōrerotia atu e ahau ki a koe, tēnā tāku anahera te haere atu nā i mua i a koe. Ahakoa rā, ko ā te rā e mea ai ahau, inā, ka meinga e ahau tō rātou hara kia tau ki runga ki a rātou."

35 Nā, ka whiua e Ihowā te iwi mō tā rātou hanganga i te kūao kau, i hangā nei e Ārona.
